29.0 Viewing and Maintaining the Audit File

The Cloud Manager Server generates audit files that record all activities performed in the Cloud Manager system.

The audit files are named NCMAuditnn.xdas, where nn is a number from 0 to 20. Each file is a maximum of 1 GB in size. The Cloud Manager server records data to NCMAudit0.xdas until it reaches 1 GB, then moves to the next file, NCMAudit1.xdas. When it finishes with NCMAudit20.xdas, it returns to the first file (NCMAudit0.xdas) and overwrites the file with new data.

You cannot change the name, number, or file size of the audit file. If you want to retain the complete set of files, you must move the files to another directory before they are overwritten.

The files are located in the following directory on the Cloud Manager Server:

/opt/novell/soaframework10/domains/NovellCloudManager/audit
